Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate CAS 1820604-40-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Methyl 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate (CAS 1820604-40-7), molecular formula C16H15ClO2 and molecular weight 274.74 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-[3-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate (C16H15ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
